This movie is an absolute masterpiece of propulsive editing. Edgar Wright is a true genius of cinema.

[@mjvdg4194]

I didn't realise til recently, but the appearance of Nega Scott after Gideon is because 'he' was Ramona's 8th evil ex! Once they broke up he had to fight himself!

[@erikbjelke4411]

And "Nega Scott" is actually a pretty nice guy, because for most of the movie. . . Scott's kind of an asshole. So his "equal and opposite" would be pretty okay.

I love how Scott's stupid little drawing is JUST accurate enough for Comeau to instantly go "Yes, that's Ramona Flowers.", based entirely on how the hair was drawn.

[@HorusHeresy1982]

Fun fact: This movie was written and released before the novel series was finished so they didn't know who he would end up with. There's an alternative ending where he goes with Knives.

[@randalthor741]

This movie had a Captain America (Chris Evans), a Human Torch (also Chris Evans), a Superman (Brandon Routh), a Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), a Punisher (Thomas Jane), a Batgirl (Mae Whitman), and a Wondergirl (also Mae Whitman).

"Bread makes you fat?!" makes me laugh every single time.

[@maxducoudray]

My favorite thing about Edgar Wright films is how the visuals support the jokes. Cuts and in-frame actions often line up with the dialogue, so both elements are made better.

[@TheGorignak]

My favorite part is that you can watch it 5 times and still find new Easter eggs.

[@Xoferif]

Baby Driver (2017) is another Edgar Wright film!

[@Paxford0502]

Living in Toronto when this movie came out, spotting a couple friends who played extras, walking the locations they showcase... it was so incredibly formative and iconic to us. And to a certain millennial demographic. I can rewatch this over and over and spot new things every time.

[@aquilanusUK]

23:54 Ramona is using "Hammer Space." XD it's a common film, TV and animation trope where people pull stuff out of literally nowhere (usually behind their back). It's called Hammer Space, because most people pull a Hammer of gigantic size from there xD

[@havok6280]

Highly recommend Baby Driver if you haven't seen it. It's the movie Wright made when his Ant-man deal fell through...

[@exekyute]

I had to make sure there was a Baby Driver recommendation before I navigated away to another video.

[@RolandDeschain1]

On a sheer technical level this is an absolutely bravura piece of film-making. Oscar-worthy in every category like sound, editing, effects, cinematography.

[@phillipcummins5038]

This is probably one of my favorite movies of the 2010's! You should check out one of Edgar Wright's other films called Baby Driver ❤

[@jRoy7]

If you want more, Netflix recently released an animated version using all of the same voice cast from the movie!

[@calebwilliams7659]

That one movie with Captain America (and also the Human Torch), Superman (and also The Atom), and Captain Marvel before they were famous

[@TerryAllenSwartos]

And a former Frank Castle, The Punisher @ 22:04

[@maxducoudray]

Brandon Routh was never really famous and most likely peaked with Superman, which was before this movie.

[@mityakiselev]

The editing in this movie is in. sane. Like every frame contains at least a couple easter eggs, including the numbers of exes (when he's fighting the girl on the street there are 7 crosses on the wire above, 2 out of which are down, 5 to go; when the twins are rocking out in the club their numbers are 5 and 6 in Mandarin I believe, which adds up to 11 when they crank the volume up, and so on and so on), plus the overall ADHD style of cutting mid-line and crazy transitions... What an experience.

[@dancarter482]

One of my fave films - there's just no way it can be constantly interrupted with pointless attempts to deconstruct each gag only to miss the point of the gag and the next quick-fire retorts. Like trying to walk a child through a George Carlin routine!

[@stewart1555]

This movie is timeless, for it's creativity; subtlety and awesome music. It was not easy to digest on first watch until I started really watching movies and appreciating the craft. The cast is AWESOME!

[@maximillianosaben]

Addie's big smile always brightens my day! She's always such a joy.

[@IronTorch20]

This movie never fails to make me smile. Great to see a fresh perspective.

[@jarsenaultj]

Love this movie. There's also a Netflix animated series called "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life" that came out last year which is also good (and most (all?) of the original cast is in it).

[@neilshackleton89]

The only significant cast change was the narrator, who was Bill Hader in the movie. The Netflix series is quite fun, and best watched while the movie is fresh in your mind. A cool reminder of how our views can change in 13 years.

[@Xone9]

The Netflix series is called "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off". "Precious Little Life" is the first chapter of the original graphic novel.

[@FrenchCelt]

@@Xone9 "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life" is also the name of the first episode of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

[@SuzakuX]

Not just the original cast came back. Edgar Wright produced and the original creator Brian O'Malley developed the story. Also Anamanaguchi, who did the soundtrack for the game, did the soundtrack for the show. Truly a passion project for everyone involved.

[@gchild1286]

Agreed!

[@supermoogle07]

The Katayanagi twins were considerably different in the graphic novels. The reason they have such a short appearance and no dialogue is because they don’t speak English. The writer wanted them to be twins and ethnically correct. With such a tight time limit think they did it great.

[@ceruleanblu3184]

3:03 That was a real record store called Sonic Boom, and it was one of the best places for cool music in Toronto. I spent many Saturday afternoons scoping out their selections. RIP!

[@adamwells9352]

I saw this in the theater when it came out more or less by accident--picked at random when I hadn't chosen a movie ahead of time. It was just like Addie's experience: HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING!!! Lesson I learned: avoid trailers.

[@krisdoorga6558]

This was such a cool movie, glad it's reached cult status. You should checkout the animated series that came out, the cast all returned to voice their characters

[@fabiourbano6404]

This movie has so many numbers. Mathew has one eye covered, one finger. Lucas Lee punches Scott twice says things twice and uses doubles. Todd has 3 different letters, is in a 3 person band, 3 strikes and throws Scott through 3 walls. Roxy has 4 letters and her kick is a 4.

[@talledega7618]

With as much as you enjoyed it, I'd recommend you look up the reunion of Zoom that the cast did during 2020 lockdown. They did a read through of the script and had the author of the original graphic novels drawing pictures of the characters at the same time.

[@nimblesheepvenomous3811]

And there’s a netflix animated show!

[@Objective_Piece8285]

You have to watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off animated series after this!

[@chrisn676]

I've been looking forward to this all week, and it didn't disappoint. In my opinion, Scott Pilgrim is one of the most underrated movies of all time, and it's always a joy to watch people have their first experience with it. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride!

[@morganshibby8941]

The tempo in this movie is crazy!

[@RolandDeschain1]

This movie was quite a big bomb when it came out. The marketing was confused, and they just didn't now how to get Joe and Jane Walmart to go along to it. A much easier sell were the two movies it debuted with, THE EXPENDABLES and EAT PRAY LOVE. But as Edgar has said, in the years since, every single screening they have ever had of this movie completely sells out. And to me that is the true testament to a movie's worth.

[@ugib8377]

I wasn't sure if you'd like this when I saw it on your upcoming reactions. Really glad you did. It's a fun film. Plenty of stuff to laugh heartily at. The first time I watched it with my buddy, when he launched himself out the window, I laughed so hard I cried. Can't wait to see what else you watch Addie!

[@stonecoldku4161]

Fun fact: Brandon Routh, the actor who played the vegan ex-boyfriend, is also known for playing Superman in the movie Superman Returns. He went to the same high school in Iowa and was on the same high school soccer team as Jason Mamoa. That high school had a Superman and an Aquaman in its halls. I wonder if they get a Batman or Wonder Woman from there to if they'll change the high school's name to The Hall of Justice?

[@eolsunder]

well this actual movie has Superman, Captain Marvel, Captain America AND the Human Torch, Huntress, Robin (animated representation lol), and doesn't even include the villian stars in the movie.

[@daddynitro199]

Before the Cornetto Trilogy, Edgar Wright teamed up with Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes, and Nick Frost on a short, fun sitcom called Spaced. It’s an interesting way to see how his style has evolved over the years.

I love seeing the reaction to Scott Pilgrim merely for the fact that it's based here in Toronto (it's kind of melancholy cause a lot of what's in the film - the places - some of them no longer exist) But the parts that are still here are still lovely.

[@dun9295]

If you are interested in more Edgar Wright… “Baby Driver” is pretty great.

[@CanadianCarlos]

OMG, I am so happy you reacted to this movie. Its one of my favorites. Executed amazingly, love the visuals, great music and a star studded cast before they were all famous. In 2020 they did a Zoom script reading video with most of the cast. They are all very fond of this movie and the Netflix animation that just came out also has most of the OG cast doing the voices. So underrated, never understood why it flopped when released, probably ahead of its time or something. If you liked this a lot, you should also check out "A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (2005)" if you haven't seen it before. Another great but under-appreciated film that's wacky in all the right ways with a ton of great actors.

[@whoarocket]

Your next foray into the Edgar Wright world should probably be Baby Driver. It's a caper movie, but the special hook is that it is how to make the music become a character in the movie as scenes and movements are carefully synchronized to the music. It is stunning to watch!

I love that this was the turning point for Brandon Routh. He got to play Superman, and it just turned into a disappointment (not his fault, it was just a bad movie, and he played it pretty straight lace - though he does have one of the coolest superman scenes where a bullet hits his eyeball and bounces off). But he managed to get a second chance and people discovered he was actually a really funny actor (people thought he was going to be the Henry Cavill of his time, but it turns out he's a pretty good comedic actor) and he really managed to regenerate his career with these roles. AND he got to play Superman again in a funnier light that audiences loved (he did it on Legends of Tomorrow where he was already playing a different character in the show and they interact. The people in the show point out how they look exactly the same).

[@ashtonturner2862]

[@IntellectKIDMuzik]

You should definitely watch it over again and look out for the subtle little Easter eggs cuz they make the movie even more fun.
